#LoveRomance – Fair Game by Patricia Briggs, women fighting for their happy ending

Because reading Shakespeare and enjoying romance books are not mutually exclusive.

This week, we’re asking readers who plan to attend SWF to leave specially designed postcards at common areas, empty seats and any other places that other attendees might serendipitously find them. If you plan to attend SWF and would like to help out by leaving postcards in places other readers might find them, send an email to kat@bookthingo.com.au.

SWF update: If you find a #LoveRomance postcard at the Sydney Writers’ Festival, tweet a selfie with the postcard to @MoonlightMoment and they’ll send you a free ebook bundle! More details here.

We struggled to narrow down our list of quotes for #loveromance, but in the end, we couldn’t go past this quote from Fair Game by Patricia Briggs. We felt it fitting to include a paranormal romance book, given the disdain that Twilight and its illegitimate offspring, Fifty Shades of Grey, have inspired in the media. I particularly love this postcard because it reminds me of my favourite quote from Shakespeare’s King Lear (Act 4, Scene 1):

As flies to wanton boys are we to th’ gods,
They kill us for their sport.
